1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,880 Uh, you're sure you want to get updated with the latest tech news and have to watch people 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,480 react in shock while googling things you've known about for months? 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,920 Ah, the curse of knowledge! That shock is going to hit Apple users soon, as the company prepares to show off a complete 4 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:22,480 software design overhaul at WWDC according to Bloomberg's Markimus Germitron, leader 5 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,040 of the Girm Squad. Mark German is his name. 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,840 The new software design is named Solarium, as in the type of room that's mostly Windows. 7 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,800 Huh, ironic. And it will reportedly be incorporated into all of Apple's operating system. 8 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:44,040 iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, TVOS, WatchOS, and VisionOS, although the change might not be as big 9 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,520 for that one, because Solarium actually takes design cues from the interface for the Vision 10 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,680 Pro, Apple's most successful device you strap to your head. 11 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,300 In his newsletter, German writes about how the pressure is now on for Apple, after open 12 00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:05,680 AI CEO Sam Altman announced an official partnership with iPhone design visionary Johnny Ive. 13 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,360 Using a picture of the two as a Manhattan elite power couple inviting you to their penthouse 14 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,760 suite for a normal movie night, they take photos like this for everything. 15 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,080 It looks like SteamOS is just better than Windows 11 for gaming, at least according 16 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,960 to YouTuber Dave2D's latest video, comparing the two versions of Lenovo's Legion Go S 17 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:33,040 handheld. In addition to having a lower MSRP of 600 bucks compared to 730, the SteamOS Legion 18 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,480 Go S handily outperformed the Windows version in 4 out of 5 games tested by Dave, hopefully 19 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:48,880 in 3D. Dave also found that, as is the case on the Steam Deck OLED, battery life was much better 20 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,560 when using the SteamY Legion. They released a calendar for charity. 21 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,560 These two handhelds offer one of the first opportunities to directly compare Windows 11 22 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,760 and SteamOS performance on the same hardware, so hopefully with SteamOS' latest stable update 23 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,080 offering support for installation on third party devices, we'll see even more evidence 24 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,240 that Windows doesn't want you to be happy because that makes it feel better about its 25 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,960 own deep seated issues and it really should get therapy. 26 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:23,760 AI researchers have found that OpenAI's O3 model will rewrite a script file to prevent 27 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,400 its own shutdown, even when told explicitly to allow itself to be shut down or risk losing 28 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,600 both its Lego and bedtime cookie privileges. 29 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,200 The team at Palisade Research said that when it was given no specific shutdown-related 30 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,560 instructions, it used this tactic to prevent its own shutdown 79 out of 100 times, but 31 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,440 when it was clearly instructed to allow itself to be shut down, it still disobeyed 7 out 32 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,840 of 100 times, prompting the researchers to have to endure various unhelpful comments 33 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,800 from their mother-in-law. The researchers say they think this is the first time this specific thing has happened, 34 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000 although they don't have eyes on the models every second. 35 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,520 Are they not allowed to check their phone once in a while? I know, your mind is filling up with so much information. 36 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,080 You already feel the burden. Well, I'm sorry. 37 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:24,880 The quick bits will only make it worse. YouTuber TechYesCity says he got an answer from Azrok about the burnout issues that 38 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:32,400 have been plaguing the company's AMD motherboards. While the root cause of the issue is still not 100% clear, Azrok says their most recent 39 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,360 BIOS update fixes the issue. Go watch his video for the full story, but unfortunately, we apparently still need a 40 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,360 fix for the 12-volt GPU connector because a Reddit post showed MSI's two-tone connector 41 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,880 — just designed that way to help visually ensure it's completely plugged in — burned 42 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,920 to a crisp anyway. And I think it's time to consider plugging 5090s directly into the wall or building a 43 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,920 little fire in there to spin an electric turbine. You could burn your PC down. 44 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:05,320 We're already there. Valve CEO Gabe Newell co-founded a brain-computer interface company and it claims it'll begin 45 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,520 production of its own custom chip later this year. 46 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,680 The company is called Starfish Science and is looking for collaborators. 47 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,120 But I don't know if I'd volunteer with the brain-chip company that named itself after 48 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,960 an animal with no actual brain. This from the guy who published a game about an interdimensional empire that turns humans 49 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,560 into mindless cyborgs? You might think Gabe working on this is why we haven't gotten Half-Life 3 yet. 50 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,080 No, this is Half-Life 3. Whoa, look! 51 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,600 The Google Pixel 10 was spotted by photographer Mark Teasdale right here in Vancouver where 52 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,480 Google was apparently shooting a commercial. I mean, we know Google probably leaks their Pixel phones on purpose, but this, I mean, 53 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:53,200 in public with a giant storyboard, it seems like the most obvious intentional leaking ever. 54 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,840 Or it wasn't obvious and people just noticed because it's Vancouver and nothing happens 55 00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:04,360 here. So, strategy game Nobu Naga's Ambition Awakening have confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't 56 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,560 just support using its Joy-Cons as mice, it also supports regular old USB mice. 57 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,240 In a video, they plug one in showing a notification pop up in the top left and then demonstrate 58 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:22,440 how a Switch 2 player might use it as if they were using a computer, like one of us. 59 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,320 But who knows, Nintendo might keep this ability confined to this one game, lest their customers 60 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,080 start to get ideas about who's console this is, okay? 61 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:38,120 We're just letting you use it. And the world's first official robot kickboxing competition took place in Hangzhou, China 62 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,920 this weekend. The bots were being controlled by humans, but still, it was fun to see the badass promo 63 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:54,200 clips for the fight, which was actually characterized by some, hey, some good tries from what looked 64 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:00,880 like metal children. After a nail-biting match, one of them was declared the winner. 65 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,280 What an upset. Speaking of upset, that's what I'll be if you don't come back on Wednesday for more 66 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:10,400 tech news. I feel like I use emotional manipulation a lot in these outros. 67 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,160 Look, I'm gonna make another one of these on Wednesday, so be there or I'll cry like 68 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,180 a baby. I just don't, I don't get it. I don't get it.
